A young art student, Kurt, falls in love with a fellow student, Ellie. Ellie’s father, Professor Seeband, a famous doctor, is dismayed at his daughter’s choice and vows to destroy the relationship. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already connected through a terrible crime Seeband committed decades ago.

Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) directs this suspense-packed drama and moving family story about what it means to create art, and the search for an artistic voice of one’s own. Inspired by real events and spanning three eras of German history, Never Look Away explores a subject matter that is both unusual and ambitious, making use of a sweeping historical backdrop to tell a highly personal and emotional story through the portrayal of three human destinies.
